I won't pick any others.

Kentucky is going to win it all, IMO. Syracuse needs to rebound better before I can put them up there. I secretly like Kansas. Duke could make a run.

I'll pick my elite 8 instead.

Kentucky
Michigan State
Syracuse
Kansas
Duke
New Mexico
Ohio State
Missouri

I think Michigan can make a run too.

a lot of people do, man, it's cool.

they lack depth but they have what it takes to make a run. best player in the country, top 5 or whatever point guard (i dont wanna post my true ranking on TT in fear of homerism), elite shot blocker, and outstanding perimeter defense. it's gonna be interesting.

Until Bill Self runs into a mid-major in the tournament.

Probably.

Though I do think Anthony Davis is the most impactful player in the country.

The problem I have with my Jayhawks is if a) Robinson gets in foul trouble or b) TT randomly has a setback and turns into old TT, KU could easily lose to whoever they play. There aren't really many other options if those two don't play their best

Yeah, unless Baylor beats Kansas and/or Missouri in the Big 12 tourney, they are a terrible pick. They just haven't proven they can win a big game. Even then, you don't know what kind of effort you'll get out of Jones every night and you don't know how efficient Miller will be. You'd like to think Jones would assert himself on the game's biggest stage, but he hasn't given anyone a reason to believe he will. Miller is up and down numbers wise, but that's to expect out of a freshman.

Mizzou Fast,and they play good defense.

Kentucky Size and most talented IMO

NC 2nd most talented team IMO and size.

Cuse Length and zone will give teams fit.


Alternitives:
New Mexico Good defense and + usually one shocker.

Wisconsin: The way they slow the game down, could keep them in it.

it's such a crap shoot because any team can lose on any given night (i.e. how the hell did UK lose to Indiana) but I like

UK
Marquette
Kansas
Syracuse


same as in 2003

I will wait and see which teams are in which regions.

Michigan state might be in the same region with UK, and if so
they cannot both finish in the final four.
